Sports Medicine Q&A
What is unique about Dr. Tarlow’s approach to sports medicine?

At Dr. Tarlow’s practice, sports medicine is primary care medicine for athletes, ranging from elite competitors to active weekend warriors.

How does Dr. Tarlow use platelet rich plasma therapy?
Committed to offering patients the most advanced treatment options, Dr. Tarlow offers platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP) to accelerate healing and reduce pain caused by a wide assortment of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions; PRP can also speed recovery from surgeries. A game-changing regenerative medicine treatment, PRP is a substance made by taking a small amount of your own blood and then spinning it in a centrifuge to create a formula that’s concentrated with healing platelets. This substance is then injected into injured areas to jumpstart the body’s natural healing process. Blood platelets contain growth factors that are vital to initiate and accelerate the repair and regeneration of tissue and bones, blood vessels, and stimulate wound healing.
What type of nutrition services does Dr. Tarlow provide athletes?
Dr. Tarlow offers expert nutrition consultation and medical-grade supplements of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and homeopathics, from Nutri-West Vitamins. He uses these techniques to help athletes, as well as non-athletes, achieve optimal health and wellness.
